NPR reported in 2024 that Trump’s circle allegedly urged Netanyahu not to finalize Biden’s ceasefire proposal— to wait so Trump could claim it after his election victory. Netanyahu, facing criminal prosecution at home and needing Trump’s political cover, agreed. The framework sat on the table gathering dust while the political calendar aligned for Trump’s preferred timing.
The cost of that delay: approximately 20,000 additional Palestinian deaths.
on why settler-colonialism is an aboslute evil, how a people and their culture co-exist and evolve with nature, how their language is specific to their way of life, and how their way of life is shaped by the land on which they live. Ultimately, uprooting a people, forcing them to move to another land, necessarily destroys their way of life and erases their culture.

80 minute documentary film “Israelism“ (by Vice, on YouTube)This film makes very clear what motivates Jewish pro-Palestinian people in the US to protest, and how their Jewish faith makes their conviction in peace and humanitarianism so powerful.

Will #Israel and #Iran now escalate into full-scale warfare, or will they return to the "shadow war" they've been fighting for decades?
An expert on U.S. national security and counterterrorism who served on the National Intelligence Council says there's reason to believe Iran will be wary of making additional public attacks

RE: https://mastodon.social/@QasimRashid/115261865529048364
yup.
Pedro Sánchez’ government have been knocking it out of the park:
1. declared #Israel is committing #genocide
2. imposed weapons embargo
3. recognized Palestine
4. send ships to break the siege
now that Portugal, Canada, UK, France, and Australia have recognized the state of #Palestine, they should join #Spain & send ships to protect the #flotilla on its way to #Gaza.
whilst breaking the #siege, they should all call for full #BDS against Israel and a weapons embargo.

We’ve all lived in relative safety, but those times are ending. Trump gave the autocratic world a taste of what a “sphere of influence” world would look like, and they’ve decided they aren’t going back.
Ready yourself for war to preserve the free world and hope it never comes. Be willing to sacrifice the comfort you’ve enjoyed to secure it for future generations throughout the West.
We have to protect each other above all else.

This is not only a fascist act, but also shows extreme cowardice.

but any hate for #Palestinians, and you too are a fascist #bigot

#Trump says #police raid on university #protesters 'beautiful to watch'
Trump, at a rally in Waukesha, #Wisconsin, called for tougher action against campus protests & again suggested some of the protesters were paid actors. He called on college presidents to “remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the locals & take back our campuses for all of the normal students.”

Since October 7th, I've joined protests, fundraising events for Gaza, and students on university campuses.
As a Jew and someone who has a ton of friends and family in Israel, I want to share some thoughts on claims of antisemitism in student encampments and the broader Palestinian solidarity movement:

Several unidentified vessels were seen approaching the #GlobalSumudFlotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza Wednesday night.
The approach comes hours after the flotilla said that Israeli "warships" approached some of its boats & engaged in "dangerous & intimidatory maneuvers" early Wednesday as it neared the #Palestinian territory.
